Problem
Consumers lack transparency into the seafood supply chain, making it difficult to verify the origin, handling, and authenticity of seafood products. This opacity raises concerns about food safety, sustainability, and potential fraud, eroding consumer trust.
Solution
Know Seafood leverages blockchain technology to create a transparent and verifiable record of seafood products from harvest to point-of-sale. By tracking each step of the supply chain—including fishing location, processing details, and transportation methods—Know Seafood provides consumers with detailed information about the seafood they purchase. This enhanced traceability helps to combat seafood fraud, promote sustainable fishing practices, and ensure food safety standards are met. Consumers can access this information via a QR code or other identifier on the product packaging, empowering them to make informed purchasing decisions.
